Default Can't calculate formulas

I have copied data from 8 workbooks into one, with 1 workbook per sheet then copied all on to a new spreadsheet merging all into 1 common format. But when I entered formulas, i.e. =LEFT(C122,FIND(" ",C122,1)) it will not calculate, it simply displays the formulas.



I'm not sure which version of Excel the workbooks were created in.

Any help is appreciated.

It's likely the cells where you entered the formulas were formatted for "text". Change the format to "General" and try again.

Cheers,
